Why is the sky blue
What do you do at a wrong turn
Do you cry
Do you scream
That feeling can burn
It can burn just the same
As getting kicked out
Or maybe losing a game
So if we've all felt these feelings
Through and through
Why on earth
Is our sky blue
We are all on this world together
Hanging on by an invisible tether
So if we've all felt these feelings
Through and through
Why on earth
Is our sky blue
But we all want to be glad
Wouldn't you say?
So maybe if we all say hello
Maybe just then
The sky can be yellow

Your Poem's Voice
Blends personal emotional struggle with universal philosophical questions about shared humanity.
Multiple ideas layered: wrong turns, universal feelings, sky color, connection, hope. Dense but meditative.
Starts melancholic (cry, scream, kicked out) but builds toward hopeful resolution (say hello, yellow sky).
Questioning and urgent tone with repeated rhetorical questions; moderate intensity, not explosive.
Approximately 25 lines; falls within 16-30 range.
Metaphors (sky as emotional indicator, invisible tether), figurative color symbolism, but some declarative language remains.
Primarily lyric internal voice with collective 'we' reflecting on shared feelings; minimal dramatic shift.
